others had done, and was at once ordered by Andrews to draw on down the road that we might have room to go out. The conductor obeyed without hesitation, ana this obstruction was removed.
 It only remained to adjust the switch so that we might again get on the main track. This Andrews directed the old switch tender to do, but he had been getting in worse and worse humOr for the whole of the last hour; he had hung up his keys, and now roughly declared that he would not take them down again until Andrews showed him by what au- thority he was ordering everybody about as if he owned the whole roadl We who were shut up in the box car heard the loud and angry voice, and supposed that the time for us to act had come; yet we waited for our leaders command as we remembered how he had counseled us against being too precipitate But he only laughed softly as if the anger of the old man amused him, and saying, "1 have no more time to waste with you, he walked into the station, to the place where he had seen the keys put up, and taking them down, went quietly and swiftly out and made the change himself. The tenders wrath knew no bounds at this; he stormed, declared he would have Andrews arrested, would report him, and many other things. Andrews then waved his hand to the engineer, and as our loco motive came promptly up he stepped on board, and we glided out on the main track and were off
 It had been fearful ordeal, but it was well met The three men, Brown, Knight and Wilson, who were outside, declared that they did not see the slightest indica- tion of fear, chagrin or impatience on the part of Andrews, save what he exhibited when telling how much Beauregard was in need of his ammunition, and what 8 shame it was that the road should be blocked by any ordinary travel when the fate of their brave soldiers was trem- bling in the balance. Andrews had ex- plsined that it was because he could not get his orders filed without ruinous de- lays by the ordinary channels that Beau regard had sent him to bring this powder through by force, if necessary, and declared that if the officers at home did not support the army in the field better, martial law would soon be proclaimed Such grumbling and threats were ap- plauded by those who wished to be thought especially loyal to the Confeder- ate cause For at least half an hour no distrust was shown.
 The hour and five minutes we were at this station, added to our two hours run, made us now three hours and five minutes from Big Shanty. Fuller was three hours and nine minutes on the way. He came in sight of Kingston just four minutes after we had glided around the sharp northward curve beyond; so near were we to the final collision at this place! As soon as we were we'll out of sight of the station we stopped, and Scott, with 8 man at each foot to give him start, was in Q moment at the top of the telegraph pole, the box was knocked off and the wire cut.

They were terribly disappointed when they found themselves stopped quite long distance below Kingston by three heavy freight trains, and learned in a brief conversation with the engineer of the nearest, and the persons who had run down that way on hearing their whistle, that their game had flown. They heard with wonder how long the commander of the captured train had been held there, and how he had succeeded in concealing his real character. The formidable nature of the enemy ahead was now clearly re- vealed, but it looked for moment to Fuller as if all his labor had been for nothing, and that he would be able to continue the pursuit only after ruinous delay To back all these trains up the heavy grade so that he could get on the side track, and then down again to get off at the upper end, would require an amount of ssseesawingn that would give the captors of his train 8 hopeless start.
 Here arose difference of opinion be-
 tween Fuller and Murphy, who up to this time had worked together in perfect accord. Murphy ran ahead and cut loose the New York, the new and good engine of one of the freights, attaching it to the car which had brought their tools from Etowah. He then called to Fuller to move the Rome engine back out of the way that he might come round on the ssY.n But Fuller had different plans.
 The Rome engine and train had stood on Its own track all this time waiting for

PIGEON. SHOOTING.

The Forester Clubs First Meeting for
1887.
The Forester Gun Club held its first
meeting of the season at Agricultural Park
yesterday morning, and though the wealth
er was far from being settled. eighteen
members took part in the medal shoot, and
three or four more were present who ar
rived too late to enter the contest. The
eighteen were divided into two teams, one
captained by Henry Eckhardt and the
other by Otto Miller, and the jollity incl
dental to the formation of the teams was
continued throughout the entire shoot,
making il very pleasant gathering. For
the first time in Sacramento ground traps
were used three, and as their con-
struction is such that the birds are
placed in them with their heads furthest
from the score, they are almost always
taller" when the traps are pulled. Yes
terday's birds were old and very strong,
and when they left the traps and SKINNED
almost straight away for several yards,
only few feet above the ground, the
shooters found it difficult to bring them to
grass, especially the blue pigeons, so nearly
resembling the color of the vegetation.
However, the more misses made the more
fun for all hands-birds included-and the
good-natured guying" never stopped.
As the weather had been so threatening, a
large number of shooters was not expected,
and, as it resulted, sufficient birds were
not secured. Consequently, when at the
end of the team shoot it was found that
each side had scored Sc, there were but four
birds remaining. 1t was agreed that the
Captains should shoot off the tie, but each
of them missed once. and the tie still re-
manned The score was as follows:

The Booth Engagement,

Mr.. Edwin Booths engagement closed
Saturday night with the tragedy of
"Othello," with Mr.. Booth in the charac-
ter of Iago. Saturday afternoon he ap-
peared as Richelieu. On both occasions he
had large and appreciatiye audiences. Con-
corning the method of his art little re-
mains to be added to the judgment already
expressed. In Richelieu, as in all other
characters he assumes, the aim of Mr..
Booth is to present the reasonable proba-
bilities. He never exaggerates a char
acter to its possibilities. Reason
able, not fanciful, Interpretation APP
pears to be the rule with him,
As Iago, the impersonation was no less a
triumph of dramatic art in picturing the
natural, the probable motive and action of
such man as the crafty ancient" of the
Moor. He thus brought the character
down to the level of reality, and material
lied the thought and purpose of the i'm
mortal dramatist. The distinction be-
tween Booth in Hamlet and Booth as
Iago is the distinction between the ideal in
which the thought is superior to the
action, and the real in which action is
dominant and elevated thought secondary.
In both characters his is the perfection of
skill in realizing the most exacting con-
ception attained by no other artifice than
copying from the natural. Mr.. Booths
engagement here was successful in every
respect, and his reception one that must
have been gratifying to the pride of even
one so accustomed to commentator as he.
Indeed the engagement was one of the
most successful in the long history of the
Metropolitan Theater, equaled only by
that which he filed in the same house in
1876. Mr.. Booth, his manager and the en-
tire company were loud in their praise of
the excellence of the local management,
and it was deserved, for it was competent
work from beginning to end.

| Catsrrh, Catarrhal Deafness and hay
Feyer-A New Treatment.

from the Mail CAM, Dec 18th
Catarrh is q muco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence and development OF
a vegetable parasite in the internal lining
membrane of the nose. This parasite is
only developed under favorable circum-
stances and these are: Morbid state of the
blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle,
the germ poison of mercury, toxomea,
from the retention of the effete matter OF
the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly
ventilated sleeping apartments and other
poisons that are terminated in the blood
These poisons keep the internal lining
membrane of the nose in a constant state
of irritation, ever ready for the deposit OF
the seeds of these germs, which spread up
the nostrils and down the fauces, or back
of the throat, causing liberation of the
throat up the eustachian tubes, causing
deafness; burrowing in the vocal cords,
causing hoarseness; usurping the proper
structure of the bronchial tubes, ending in
pulmonary consumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to cure
this distressing disease by the use of inhal-
ents. medicated vapors and other ingenious
devices, but none of these treatments can
do particle of good until the parasites
are either destroyed or removed from the
mucus tissue.
Some time since Weu-knoWn physician
of forty years standing, after much expert
menting, succeeded in discovering the
necessary combination of ingredients
which never fail in absolutely and perma-
nently Graduating this horrible disease
whether standing for one year or forty
wears. Those who may be suffering from
the above disease should, without delay
communicate with Mr.. Dixon, Sr., of the
firm of A. n. Dixon & Son, Toronto, Can.
ada, who is on short visit to this Coast
and can be consulted at the Golden Eagle
Hotel, Sacramento, every Wednesday even
ing. from to o'clock, and all day ever,
Thursday until further notice.

head and sholders over the new importa-
ton. His curves were wonderfully effect
ve,'and so lightly was he tapped that bui
three hits were secured off his pitching
while at the bat and in the field he proved
himself Samson. McDonald's catching
could not have been better, every chance
being accepted, while he proved himself g

running and stealing. There were few
good points in the game. The score stood

Easter was appropriately observed at the
service yesterday, the audience room being
most tastefully and uniquely decorated by

covered with crimson cloth bordered with
